[After about an hour spent fiddling with it, Lance has finally made his netbook do something productive.]

So, from what I understand, we're here to fight some war that we have nothing to do with. How has that worked out so far, hmm? It seems a bit counter productive to me when you steal people away from their homes.

Anyway, I happen to have a... gift for ripping holes in the fabric of worlds. Quite convenient when one wants to get from one place to another quickly. Worlds included.
If any of you people are feeling particularly brave or adventurous, I could be persuaded to open one of those holes for you. Now, I don't guarantee success or, that you will come out in one piece.

[ SUDDENLY ALL OVER THIS ]

what about into other worlds.

[deathwalker]

I'm assuming this world isn't yours. If you're willing to jump into a rip in space you could end up back home....or somewhere else entirely. Like I said: I don't guarantee success.

[stonefaith]

You'd be correct.

if it doesn't succeed, what is the worst that could happen?

[deathwalker]

I have no idea. Though I suppose the worst that could happen when one does anything is death. So there's that.

[flatly.] Your spell will fail.

[deathwalker]

[Well aren't you informative.]

Care to prove that?

[deadelfwalking]

You can prove it to yourself. Try to cast the spell.

[implying]

Do you! That sounds a terribly useful talent.

Have you tested it here?

[deathwalker]

I intend to, yes.

[implying]

Ah. Then you haven't yet.

[Voice]

[uncalled_for]

It certainly sounds impressive. If you can manage it here.

Regardless of whether or not your skill would work though, why would you even want to share it with us?

[deathwalker]

Currently, I'm not particularly pleased with the people running this....whatever it is. If this works, and enough people choose to use the opportunity, it could cause problems for the Initiative.

And let's not forget that I also get to go home.

[uncalled_for]

Just how many do you think you could send?

[Pause, oh the possibilities to consider...]

And if this doesn't work...?

[trustycrowbar]

Fascinating... This is a natural ability of yours?

[It's not so much that he's amazed to see this. He's amazed to see it again.]

[deathwalker]

Yes. It's an...inherited gift, I guess.

Why?

[trustycrowbar]

I've seen that sort of thing before. I can't do it myself, not without a big-ass machine and just the right conditions, but I've seen others that could open portals on their own and yank people out of a world with a thought.

To find someone who can do it here, [And one that still speaks to us lowly flatlanders.] is pretty amazing.

[whatsupcroc]

I like adventure!

Wait, this isn't a trick question, is it?

[deathwalker]

No, it's not.

[whatsupcroc]

Okay, good! Just checking. My answer stays the same in that case!

[video]

[acemedium]

I'm both brave and adventurous! Let's do it.

[deathwalker]

Good. I'll let you know when I have a time and place set.

[acemedium]

You better!

How is this done.

Re: text | private

[deathwalker]

I believe I already stated that it involves ripping a hole in the world. Unless you're looking for specifics. I'd rather not share those.

[strongeralone]

[Of course you would, because sharing them would actually be useful.]

What are you
